Description

I re-stacked and reprocessed my data on this target. This time I took a much more aggressive approach on the light curves, stretch and vibrancy. I also blurred the image slightly to remove some of the noise. Now, many purist would frown on such processing techniques for a final image, (Which I have already submitted) and to be honest I have mixed feelings about it myself. But, this being my image and raw data, I shall consider this work more digital "Art" than astrophotography.

Taken with Vixen A81M telescope, Explore Scientific iEXOS-100-02 mount, SvBony 60mmx220mm guide scope, SvBony 505c guide camera and Cannon T7 main camera.

Processed with GIMP and Corel paint shop pro.

45 minutes of data at 80 sec subs.
